Firstly this oversized enthusiaism towards catamarans and trimarans is bit weird...I mean are you choosing them just for the sake of good looks?
The proplem with trimarans and catamarans is that their seakeeping cababilities are considerably weaker than of normal displacement hulls. They are fast in calm seas, but when the seastate worsens these ships cannot go to the sea...too big default for a corvette size warship...
But unless there is a typhoon going, the Pacific is indeed a calm sea. Why do you think it was named the Pacific in the first place...the name meant "peace" as in to pacify.
Ancient Malayo-Polynesian people travelled via catamarans and trimarans, plus a great talent to read the stars, from the south easts coasts of China and Asia, to Indonesia, Taiwan, the Philippines, expanding further to the Ryukus, the Marianas, to Melanesia, Micronesia, northern Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, then further to Hawaii, Tahiti and further on as far as the Galapagos, as well as into the Indian Ocean, into Sri Lanka, parts of Africa as far as Madagascar.
